Enjoyed visiting the @NSWHSBiobank today! Really cool to see the people and robots at work in this purpose-built facility. Our FH biobank has just begun, but we're hoping to have 500 samples upon completion.

Had a very good time at at @sydFMH_EMCR sessions. Some lovely chats in the breaks (including @DrMelodyDing @cancer_K2A and Dr Habib Francis)! I learned about noisy knees, and bad sleep in athletes. Missing out on Day 2 but will be at Day 3 (Westmead) for more!
Next up, @jessicajorchard talking about screening ECGs in athletes to look for risk of sudden cardiac death. I was surprised to see how many sudden deaths occur during sleep and rest rather than during exercise @sydFMH_EMCR
Would you want your blood pressure measured by a toilet seat? @deanp_BP showing us the history (and future) of blood pressure monitors @sydFMH_EMCR.
Hearing from @DrMelodyDing who is matching her profile pic at the @sydFMH_EMCR Symposium. She's letting us know academia is tough even for superstars like her and reminding us to take time out to look after ourselves.
First day today!
We are excited to see innovative research at the EMCR Networks Showcase next week! Join us at @Sydney_Uni Westmead and Camperdown campus to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the future of medical and health research. Let's inspire change together! sydney.edu.au/medicine-healt…
A quick pic at @SydCV_Symposium with @Audrey_Adji who was part of @OzCvA #ACvACVchamps way back when. There were a few of us there but I didn't catch everyone for photos. Next time...
